Tesla is dropping two of the seven standard colors it had offered to customers to streamline production. In a tweet early Tuesday, Sept. 11, CEO Elon Musk said obsidian black and metallic silver will still be available, but at a higher cost. Tesla fans can still get solid black and “midnight silver metallic,” as well as pearl white, deep blue metallic and red as standard color choices. (AP Photo/Richard Vogel, File)
